I feel like I'm in bizzaro world today! For some reason I have had more compliments today than in the past few years combined......it's making my head puff up just a wee bit!

It all started with the lovely parking attendant. He's a much older jovial man who always gives patrons candy. I'm often greeted with a "hello beautiful" and a great big smile. They have a no in and out (sounds mildly dirty) policy however I absolutely had to leave and return so I sheepishly asked if this would be okay. He started to laugh at me and shrugged his shoulders "Sweetheart, you're beautiful you can do whatever you like"! I love this man I mean who doesn't want to hear that a few days a week!

Once inside I was told that a certain someone was checking me out! Yay for me! And not an hour later I had to speak to this certain someone whom I've seen a bazillion times but have never had a reason to talk to. Today I had to talk to him about a client.....odd how the world works!

I was leaving my satellite office when a man stopped me "where did you get that purse I love it" I told him I was flattered as everyone thinks it looks like a 90 year old womans bag and he completely disagreed. As we parted he yelled out "And I'm a straight male for the record" it was so random and hilarious I loved it!

Oh I'm not done! I left the purse man and got into the elevator when a woman looked at me and told me how much she loved my jacket.....Seriously people by now I was certain that I would be stuck in the elevator due to my ballooning head!

I arrived at my other office and as I was talking to a coworker she stopped in mid sentence "you have the most beautiful teeth I've ever seen"! She kept on telling me how white and perfect they were, Oh why thank you :)

I'm not sure what I've done to deserve such praise and all in one day but let me tell ya I'll take it!! I've always been one of those people who poo poo's compliments like "oh it's not that great" or "oh I think they're totally yellow" but not today. I decided to try something new, I smiled at each and every person and simply thanked them!

I often will go out of my way to compliment a stranger on whatever I love that they have... shoes.....jacket...purse....hair cut....I figure it makes them feel good and I'm always genuine about what I like so why not let them know.

Task for everyone today.....compliment at least one person in your travels and see the smile it brings!

Something that brought a smile to my face yesterday was this hilarious clip (Jan 19 Police Call) played on a radio show. The man had called a police station to ask if he would get a "promise to appear" if he decided to masturbate on a firetruck. It's long but funny as shit and worth a listen, the cops responses killed me!


Enjoy the weekend!

Wow! That's awesome that you got so many compliments in one day. How nice. :)

I agree with you about giving more compliments to people because they make them feel good. I will definitely make a point of doing that tomorrow.

Are you using a different fragrance? Not necessarily perfume, could just be hair spray or makeup or antiperspirant or something. Or maybe the product you are using changed it's formula. That product, combined with a hormone produced by your body is create a subtle aroma that is (non-sexually) attracting people to you. I think that is the reason for the sudden influx of compliments.

Or there's something in town's water supply.

I told a girl she was pretty today. I hope that counts. I should do that more often.

You're finally getting the recognition you deserve!

Miss Ash said...

Christielli, excellent! I hope you made someones day today!

WIGSF, nope absolutely nothing out of the ordinary so it must be the water!

Wiwille, good job and yes you should! I'll bet she smiled....

Rawbean, you crack me up!! Ha!

Oh man, I LOVE those days!!
You must've had some kind of glow going on or energy that was just magnetic. Or maybe you felt pretty and everyone picked up on the fact that you were :)
It's good that the guy clarified he wasn't gay because I have never heard a man compliment a purse. lol

Soak it all up Miss Ash & keep rolling with it - when you're on a hot streak, you're on a hot streak & you should push it until it cools back down. That's my advice . . . Ha. But seriously, I think your genuine thanks on receiving a compliment is the best thing anyone could do when it happens. Have a great weekend.

Good on you...

Oh and I told a girl at work today that she looked very fetching...

She was a bit taken aback.

She is married with a baby on the way so it was more my being nice than anything.

Yay for compliments (and double yay for accepting them gracefully! :))! There's nothing quite like it, is there?
